Tips and info about ridgeway grandfather clock models
* A longcase clock must be set up on an even level surface. This seems to be very basic but it is all important.
When placing the longcase clock adjacent to the wall you may notice that the floor carpeting is not uniformly thick. Or it may be that the floor itself is uneven at the point where it meets the wall.
If the case leans towards any side you must first set it right.
* Longcase Clock Pendulums have front and back sides you can tell apart. The front end is in most cases the the flat highly polished side.
The grandfather clock pendulum be free of all the sides of the case. If it comes into contact with the case it could be that the clock leans to one side.
* The weight sets that energize the clock should stand obstruction free. They should not brush against the pendulum or the sides of the clock during their descent.
* When you start up the pendulum check for a steady tick tock sound. The ticks should be regular and even.
If it is not even it is perhaps because the clock is not standing vertically. Try out some experiments and make required alterations.
* When you modify the time avoid shifting the clock hands rearwards further than a few minutes. And under no circumstances run them backwards across the number twelve.
It is alright to run the hands forward. When moving across the twelve o clock mark wait until the grandfather clock is through with striking the bell at the hour mark before going on.
* If the grandfather clock runs slow or fast alter the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Add to the length to cut back on the clock speed. Shorten the length to to speed up the clock.
